MOSCOW, January 28. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia will present the official logo of the FIFA World Cup 2018 competition this September, Russian Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko said on Tuesday.

“We have begun making a logotype,” Mutko said. “The government will also begin to make allocations for construction of training pitches in the regions this year. We should present 64 training bases for approval of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA).

"We want very much that teams will live not only in cities where matches will be held. We have three applicant cities for this now. Each of them can develop its fan zone for a team based there,” the minister added.
